I would spend about $500. Easy. Now i prepare foods (Still not "Cooking per SE) and rarely go to bars/clubs. Big difference for sure! A movie or museum here and there. Summer makes it easier as the beach is free

When you go out for a night on the town...the money seems to fly out of your wallet here in NYC. be firm and set a limit for the "fun" expense.

I'm going to be living in Brooklyn for pretty cheap ($900, with three roommates) and netting around $60k a year, all benefits covered by work, no debt to pay, so I have a lot of wiggle room with going out and spending money. I'm not much of a clubber and not really into super expensive restaurants or anything like that. Mostly just going to be getting a lot of coffees, beers, and pizza, plus going to museums, seeing movies, etc.
